Additional Summer Information
Summer Enrollment Level Census Date
The Enrollment Level Census Date is for the purpose of determining your enrollment level for the semester. The Enrollment Level Census Date for Summer is June 11, 2024. On this census date we will record your enrollment level (number of credits enrolled that apply to your degree program) as of that date, which will determine your eligibility for financial aid awards for the semester. Courses that are added after this “census date” will not be included into your financial aid enrollment level for the semester.
Concurrent Enrollment – a course taken at another UH campus may be considered for financial aid at Leeward CC if the following requirements are met:
- Your home campus is Leeward CC, and you are enrolled for at least one course at Leeward CC.
- The course taken at another UH campus must apply to your Leeward CC degree (qualify under Course Program of Study). All summer courses will be reviewed for Financial Aid eligibility.
